Starting the Low-Level Format Program



Starting the Low-Level Format Program
  The Low-Level Format program erases all  data and programs.
  1.  If the hard disk is working, make a backup copy of  all the files and programs on the hard disk.
  2.  Select Format disk from the SCSISelect Disk Utilities menu,  then follow the instructions on the screen.

    NOTE: Hard disks normally contain more tracks than  their stated capacity (to allow for defective tracks). A message  appears on the screen if the defect limit is reached. If this happens  replace the drive.

  3.  To install an operating system, refer to the README file in Start Here on  the ServerGuide Main CD.
